Marguerite Henry

    13 april 1902 – 26 november 1997

    Marguerite Henry was een toegewijde vertelster wiens verhalen zich concentreerden op paarden en andere dieren, en die generaties jonge lezers boeiden met haar diepe genegenheid voor de natuurlijke wereld. Haar werken, vaak gebaseerd op ware gebeurtenissen, onderscheiden zich door hun gedetailleerde verkenning van dierenpsychologie en de diepe banden die zij met mensen delen. Henry concentreerde zich op de psychologische ontwikkeling van haar personages en onderzocht thema's als loyaliteit, moed en kameraadschap. Haar schrijfstijl kenmerkt zich door precisie en haar vermogen om de lezer met een gevoel van verwondering en respect onder te dompelen in de dierenwereld.

      Charlie's not old! So what if he's 28 and most people consider that a little old for a horse. When his rheumatism isn't acting up, he's as frisky as any young colt. And he's certainly not ready for retirement. Charlie can tackle any tough job that comes his way. Unfortunately, Mr. Spinks, Charlie's owner, doesn't quite agree. So he makes Charlie take a permanent, though well-deserved, vacation. Poor Charlie is bored to death! But then Charlie discovers there is something he can do. Maybe retirement isn't so boring after all!?!
